Malaika Arora REVEALS Reason Behind Getting A Tattoo After Her Breakup With Arjun Kapoor: ‘Wasn’t In Great Place’
Malaika Arora has always appeared cheerful in front of the media, rarely opening up about the struggles she faced. However, she recently shared the emotional reason behind her new tattoo. The year 2024 was particularly tough for Malaika, as she lost her father, Anil Mehta, and also went through a breakup with her long-time partner, Arjun Kapoor. Amid these personal challenges, Malaika made headlines for her new tattoo on her upper arm, which reads ‘Sabr Shukr’ , a powerful reminder of patience and gratitude.

Recently, in an interview with The Times of India, Malaika opened up about her new tattoo, sharing that it holds a deep and personal meaning for her. Reflecting on the design, she revealed that it represents the year 2024 in a significant way. The words ‘sabr’ (patience) and ‘shukr’ (gratitude), which are part of the tattoo, brought her a sense of comfort and strength during a transformative time in her life. Speaking about it, she said:
“I don’t get them just for the sake of it, they have deep personal meaning. This particular one symbolises the year that 2024 has been for me. The words ‘patience’ (sabr) and ‘gratitude’ (shukr) are very comforting. These words resonate with me when I think about where I am now, compared to where I was just a year ago.”
Malaika Arora shared that she views tattoos as lasting symbols of memories she wishes to carry with her forever. The last time she got inked was eight years ago, following her divorce from Arbaaz Khan. The tattoo featured three birds in flight. Explaining the meaning behind it, Malaika said: “That tattoo shows three birds in flight, marking a new phase in my life.”
Malaika was also asked about the rumours surrounding her dating life and whether she’s open to falling in love again. Responding to this, the diva expressed that love is something that can’t be planned or predicted, and at the moment, her love life isn’t a priority. She also reflected on her personal growth, mentioning that while she wasn’t in a good place earlier, she’s now in a much happier and more content phase. Malaika shared: “I’m not focused on that right now. These are things you can’t plan. I’m just grateful for the patience I’ve had, which has helped me reach a better headspace. I wasn’t in a great place before, but I’m in a much better, calmer and happier space now.”
For those who may not know, in 2024, Arjun Kapoor attended a Diwali celebration event with the Singham Returns team. A video from the event went viral in which someone in the crowd asked him, “Malaika kaisi hai?” Though the audio wasn’t entirely clear, Arjun responded by confirming his relationship status. He was quoted saying, “Nahi, abhi single hoon, relax.”
